Are University Policies Legally Enforceable?

I explain whether Louisiana universities' policies and handbooks are legally enforceable at http://members.cox.net/d83/talk.pdf

With the exceptions of policy addressing earned compensation and that incorporated into term contracts, policy statements are not legally enforceable. I cite a SLU case where the tenured professor sued to have his grievances heard. The court found there was no legal duty for the university to hear them. His first grievance charged bias in how in-house grants were disbursed between the arts and sciences. The university could not hear that grievance?

In another case, the court found that for tenure-track appointments, the university need not follow its tenure-granting procedures. The tenure-denied professor wrote, "I would not have given up six years of my professional career at Tulane if I believed that Tulane was free to deny me tenure for no valid reason.”

Do the dismissed professors in New Orleans have lawsuits regarding their firings? More on that later.
